2009-12-10 Thread Benjohn Barnes
Hi, I've managed to get my working copy in to a funny state. I performed a fossil mv on a file, and gave a destination outside of the checkin tree. Fossil was happy to perform this operation, but now I'm not able to correct the mistake. If I try to move the file back in, I get the error

I don't care what the long name for the option is but I do think -M is a mistake. off the top of my head I can't think of any fossil parameters that are not lowercase but perhaps there is. can someone confirm that the fossil command line parameters are even case sensitive? I agree that

I offered a (horrible) work around. Fortunately, I thought better of it for my particular case, where my working set was in the middle of a merge. Instead, I've used sqlite on the command line to find a row in the vfile table and correct it's pathname so it's where I meant to move it to,

IMHO it would be nice to have and RSS link on the page text. I'd also really love if each page could also have its own RSS feed. This way people could subscribe and be notified of changes only to pages they are interested in, instead of all changes which can be overwhelming. This would be esp.
